Actions and Targets

FinalBuilder projects have one or more Action Lists, which in turn contain Actions to perform the build. Each action represents one step in the process, by performing a task such as copying files, creating directories, etc.

Main and OnFailure

By default each FinalBuilder project has a Main Action List and an OnFailure Action List.  The project starts at the first enabled action in the Main action list, if an error occurs then it can be either handled by Try Catch Actions, or the build will switch to the OnFailure Action List (assuming it is not empty) and continue from there. You can think of the OnFailure Action List as a global error handler, it is from here you can perform cleanup tasks when a build fails, such as deleting temporary or intermediate files etc.

User Action Lists

In addition to the default Action Lists, FinalBuilder also allows you to define custom Action Lists for each project, which can then be run using the Run Action List action.
